This would be the same Antigravity 2.0 that "surprise, no longer an IDE, did I forget to mention that? Lolol."

I bought a flipper zero to reverse the shitty wireless remote that my pool equipment vendor wanted $1000 for.

This remote sent signals right in the middle of the flippers range.

The flipper didn't work for shit, was fucking weird, and had piss-poor documentation. The promise was democratizing radio hacking digital signals. That was, in the most charitable light, an oversell.

So for the low price of $200, I found out I could just buy a replacement remote off ebay for cheap rather than hacking up my own receiver.

Also, you can BUY a flipper, but you can't SELL a flipper.

Anyways, that's my flipper experience, I wish them the best but also I don't give a shit.

In their defense, a website not working on a popular browser was on-brand for the era.

This is just part of the operating nostalgia.

Exactly my thought. I know languages differ in support ... but enum is right there.

I don't understand this em-dash crap. MS Word automatically converts dashes used for appositives into em-dashes. The world is awash with them.

I wonder if the common gap here is the inability to reify specification.

LLMs seem to be a significant step forward in converting language to code, but they don't seem to engage self-directed abstraction.

Get Scramble and let me know if you can beat it. At a young age, that game destroyed any interest I had in video games. I played Scramble for hours, always dying at the same point over and over.

What's the point of this story? Bad actors win?

Here's a hot take: Name and Shame.

If this story is true, the author should be shouting their names from the rooftop.

Instead, we get this nonsense.
